53
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,040

56
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 3: interesting clame of fame. What is it, Corey?

57
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 4: It is interesting. I like to refer to what is

58
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 4: amazing because I don't know any other adult woman who

59
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 4: could sit through a small doggie door. My mum's that skinny,

60
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 4: and that I'm six foot I so it's my brother.

63
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 4: physic this sweet through them and she did. But the

64
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 4: funny thing is that the laundry door was sorry, the

65
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 4: donny door was locked, so she had no choice but

66
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 4: to get back out again.

67
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 3: Tory, you're also not saying what day you did this

68
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,520

76
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: after a few drinks to squash through a dog flat

Speaker 4: the handle of the door to be able to get

83
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,119

102
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 1: old son is the bed and I'm sure he would

103

00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 2: Yes, all right, what's the story?

105
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: My crain of saying was that I was on the

106
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,799
Speaker 1: front page of the Herald Son in nineteen ninety dressed

107
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,960

109
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,359

110
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: and down Upper Herderburg road ivan home and the fire

111
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,039

00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 2: What So in the nineties in the NFL, fire trucks

115
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 2: would just drive around picking people up to see if

116
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 2: they wanted to be the mascot.

117
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,680

118
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: on the road, Yes, I think so. So they picked

119
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: me up and thought, well, you know, we'll go with this.

120

158
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 2: He found the World Cup in a hedge and I

159
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: don't really know the circumstances who dumped it there who

160
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 2: stole it? But so your your mum's incredible then, and

161
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: she managed a lift of fingerprint off a poor prints.

162
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a very odd fingerprint too, because it

163
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 5: wasn't a normal finger fingerprints that you would find it was.

164
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 5: It was an index finger and a farm so he

165
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 5: picked it up with his index finger, his thumb, whoever

166
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 5: it was. So it was a very odd find and

167
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 5: she was able to match it and they were able

168
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 5: to prove that this chap was involved.

169
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: And back in the day, your mum doing that, that

170
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 2: would have been a lot harder than now now with

171
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: it all being digitizing, computerized, you got, you know, so

172
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 2: much technology must help them out. Your mum would have

173
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: act to be a lot of high level of skill

174
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: to do that exactly.

175
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 5: And you know it was all on carts as well,

176
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 5: so it was sort of magnifying.

177
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 3: Magnifying glass, yes Scotland, and they were looking at the

178
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 3: double worlds and the double loops and all that you're.

179
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 5: Getting fingerprints exactly exactly.

180
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 2: That's amazing. I bet it was a nightmare growing up

181
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 2: with that because you know, who has who's left this

182
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 2: mug here? I know that finger bring that double world

183
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 2: on the thumb Robert, that's you who don't blame you, brother.

184
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 2: Amazing stuff, Rob, Thank you very much for sharing me.
